This realist style wildlife painting of a majestic lion roaring is worked in soft pastel. I wanted to create pathos in the lions eyes to try and express the sadness for these amazing big cats endangerment. Every detail in this painting has been applied to show the beauty of this endangered wild animal. I titled the painting "I Am King!" because I feel that's what this lion is expressing, he is still the king and deserves to be respected and protected.
